Like many other open source projects, OpenLP uses even version numbers to denote a stable release, and odd version
|
|||
|
|
numbers to denote an unstable (or development) release.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Currently we're in the process of working on OpenLP 2.5 which will become OpenLP 2.6 when we release it. We’re still
|
|||
|
|
not in a position to make this release, but I thought I'd write this blog post to assure you that lots of work is being
|
|||
|
|
done behind the scenes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So what have we been working on?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
New features:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Support for chords in songs
|
|||
|
|
- Supporting more projectors by upgrading to PJLink 2
|
|||
|
|
- Support for bibles from the SWORD Project
|
|||
|
|
- Support for ProPresenter 5 song import
|
|||
|
|
- Video backgrounds to songs (depending on your platform)
|
|||
|
|
- Video timing display so you can see the time left for a media item
|
|||
|
|
- The splitting of the Web Inferface from the core code allowing faster updates and user defined variations
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Behind the scenes:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- A new renderer and display based on Reveal.js, which should allow us and you to do a lot more in the long term
|
|||
|
|
- A new RESTful API for better remote control and potential integration from other apps
|
|||
|
|
- The migration to a new web interface framework allowing easier integration for new funtions
|
|||
|
|
- The change to save themes in JSON instead of XML
|
|||
|
|
- Change to the way file paths are represented internally in OpenLP to make interoperability between different operating
|
|||
|
|
systems better. This will help with things like transferring service files between different computers.
|
|||
|
|
- A whole lot of bugs fixed
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So while we might seem to be quiet, the real reason is because we're trying to get everything ready for another
|
|||
|
|
feature-packed release.
